The survey results highlighted an opportunity for unconscious bias awareness and training Unconscious bias are learned assumptions, beliefs, or attitudes that we aren’t necessarily aware of. While bias is a normal part of human brain function, it can often reinforce stereotypes and this hinders diversity and inclusion in all aspects of life. The only way to combat unconscious bias is to be aware of your unconscious bias, know that you have them, learn about different types of biases, how they might surface at work, and how to avoid them so you can build a more inclusive and diverse workplace.
Unconscious bias, also known as implicit bias, is a learned assumption, belief, or attitude that exists in the subconscious. Everyone has these biases and uses them as mental shortcuts for faster information-processing. Implicit biases are developed over time as we accumulate life experiences and get exposed to different stereotypes.
